Species Composition and Relative Abundance of Some Endemic Fish Species in Inle Lake Myo Naing Moe Nilar Tun Abstract Inle Lake, the second largest lake in Myanmar, is a natural lake. The lake is home to many aquatic species and there are many endemic species. During the study period from November 2019 to August 2019, ten species belonging to three orders, four families and ten genera were recorded from Inle Lake. Order Cypriniformes, Anabantiformes and Synbranchiformes were recorded. Among them, order Cypriniformes was the most dominant (70%), the second dominant order Synbranchiformes was (20%) and the order Anabantiformes was (10%). The average relative abundance was determined as stated by Bisht et al., (2004). Sawbwa resplendens, Danio erythromicron, Devario auropurpureus, Microrasbora rubescens and Yunnanilus brevis were uncommon. Cyprinus intha, Macrognathus caudiocellatus and Mastacembelus oatesii were common while Gymnostomus horai and Channa harcourtbutleri were very common. As a result, the number of endemic fish species becomes to decline and threatens to be endangered. Therefore, it may be suggested that endemic fish species should be maintained by controlling exotic fish species and over fishing. The urgent requirements for maintaining on the status of a wide use of chemical pesticides, the waste products from human, deforestation and other indigenous or exotic species are needed. 2022-12-31 https://meral.edu.mm/records/9470
